Question

$$\frac{-18}{4}-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{-18}{3}+1$$

Verify

$\text{true}$

Solution Steps

Reduce the fraction $\frac{-18}{4}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $2$.

$$-\frac{9}{2}-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{-18}{3}+1$$

Since $-\frac{9}{2}$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{-9-1}{2}=\frac{-18}{3}+1$$

Subtract $1$ from $-9$ to get $-10$.

$$\frac{-10}{2}=\frac{-18}{3}+1$$

Divide $-10$ by $2$ to get $-5$.

$$-5=\frac{-18}{3}+1$$

Divide $-18$ by $3$ to get $-6$.

$$-5=-6+1$$

Add $-6$ and $1$ to get $-5$.

$$-5=-5$$

Compare $-5$ and $-5$.

$$\text{true}$$
